VM NAT

You can create source and destination network address translation rules for your VMs.

Create a DNAT rule

To enable VMs outside your VDC to connect to a VM with a private IP address, after you obtain a NAT IP, create a destination NAT rule, which is also called a DNAT rule. 

To create a DNAT rule:

  1. Go to Virtual datacenters → Virtual appliances → edit VM
  2. If your VM does not yet have an IP, go to Network → NICs and add a private IP
  3. Go to Network → DNAT
  4. Click the + add button on the top right-hand side of the tab
  5. Enter the details of the DNAT rule

    For more details see GUI Add NAT rule DNAT

  6. Click Add
  7. Save the VM

Create an SNAT rule

To send outgoing traffic through a NAT IP that is not the default one, add an additional SNAT rule with these steps:

To create an SNAT rule:

  1. Go to Virtual datacenters → Virtual appliances → edit VM
  2. If your VM does not yet have an IP, go to NetworkNICs and add a private IP
  3. Go to Network → SNAT
  4. Click the + add button on the top right-hand side of the tab
  5. Enter the addresses of the SNAT rule

    For more details see GUI Add NAT rule SNAT

  6. Click Add
  7. Save the VM
